Nice to know
Frustrated, Spohr reports that he had to cancel his performance of Mendelssohn's "Paulus" because the Minister of Culture did not permit orchestra stands in the church during Whitsunday as these could disturb churchgoers. He also mentions the price for his hymn op. 98 and offers his duos for piano and violin, op. 95 and 96.
